No, I am still waiting for my 200/2.8 IS/DO, so that it can still sit 
upright in my PhotoTrekker....;))

It's the only way I can take one with me skiing, EOS-1+20mm on the 
bottom, Noblex 150 on top....

And I absolutely need IS, since IR film drops down to fractional ASA 
numbers with the darkest IR-filters....I am currently sortof stuck 
with 12 ASA & Wratten #87C....per Sunny-Sixteen this means 1/15s @ 
f16, or 1/500s @ f2.8, barely enough for a 3 stops bracket.

Heck, if they can make it just as short as the current 200/2.8, I 
could even live with a 200/1.8 IS/DO....diameter is the lesser 
problem here....:))
